Global Domination

Wednesday, September 17

I'll nominate Miss Saigon for today's Musical of the day. It's probably a better work than Les Miserables in a number of ways, though that doesn't mean I definitely prefer the one over the other. To the uninitiated, these two musicals are by the same authors - Boublil and Schonberg.

I suspect I'll have a night out this evening, but if I don't, I may sit down and watch Cabaret which arrived on DVD this morning. Having watched the entire first series of Black Books, which is, suprisingly, not a musical, last night, I may have had my quota of TV watching for the week - it's hard to say.

Perhaps I'll delay the watching of any TV until I take delivery of my new glasses. Yes. The git glasses I presently have are not long of this world. I allowed a nice lady optician and an even nicer lady Optical Dispenser to talk me out of a significant quantity of money in return for some glasses which will, hopefully, work out to have been a good investment when I review my eyewear in 10 years. I can't believe it, but I've been in need of spectacles for almost exactly 8 years to the day - my first choice of frames, back in 1995, was really poor. Hopefully, the expense of these new frames and lenses will make me cherish them and wear them more.
